Rashi Drishti (sign aspects)

Other settings

Graha

Graha (if translated from Sanskrit) means "the one that controls". The physical bodies of Grahas in our world are planets. But the physical body of each Graha is only a small fraction of the whole concept of the term "Graha" as the planets representing Grahas are only terminals or visual forms. Grahas are also Devatas (Deva is the Sanskrit term for male-deity, Devi - the Sanskrit term for "female-deity), which are the sources of energies that structure everything in our world. With the right use of knowledge about those or other influences that Grahas have, the one can create a Kundali (horoscope) at any object and get a specific picture and knowledge about it.

Rashi

The word "Rashi" can be translated from Sanskrit as "the beam of sparkling constellation" and means the zodiacsign. Each Rashi, being a specific zone in space and time, is responsible for certain areas of life for each person on planet Earth.

Nakshatra

Nakshatras are 27 lunar constellations that in Vedic mythology were considered as 27 wives of Chandra (Moon). According to the legend Chandra was supposed to visit each Nakshatra in strict order, without giving preference to any wife.

Shobhana is the 5th Nitya (Naisargika) Yoga, which is ruled by Brihaspati and considered to be benefic. Its effect usually described as "splendid", "beautiful" or "virtuous". Surya is a Graha (planet) that rules Shobhana.
